Tempo first
Clap along. If the claps feel slow and swaying, it is a slow song. If you are clapping at a brisk walking pace, it is a faster song. That decides the style.
- Slow song: bachata or a sway
- Faster song: salsa
Lyrics second
Once the tempo works, read the full lyrics. Some love songs have verses about breakups. Then play it once in the room where you will dance, if you can, to hear how it sounds.
Questions people ask
Can we bring two songs to choose between?
Yes. We try both in the first lesson and pick the one that moves better.
